A formal dining room showcases 9-foot coved ceilings, rich gumwood trim, and timeless appeal. The thoughtfully updated kitchen combines vintage charm with modern function and flows into a sunny morning room—ideal for relaxed meals or coffee chats. Tastefully renovated bathrooms maintain historic integrity while delivering today’s comforts. Each bedroom offers a serene retreat, with open-beam ceilings and French doors opening to a peaceful backyard—perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining, or quiet mornings with Rover.

A large income-generating ADU adds even more value and versatility. This is more than a home—a rare chance to own a reimagined piece of San Diego history.” “Set above the street in Kensington, this 1925 Spanish-style home pairs vintage charm with modern updates.
